Confronting Christianity

At the cross, the most powerful man who ever lived submitted to the most brutal death ever died, to save the powerless.

We should not be offended when people challenge our beliefs: we should be flattered!

disagreement is not evidence of disrespect.

science cannot ground the belief that human beings should be valued equally.

Suffering is not an embarrassment to the Christian faith. It is the thread with which Christ’s name is stitched into our lives.

while we do not choose our sexual attractions, we do choose our sexual actions.

If we reduce Christian community to sexual relationships and the nuclear family, we are utterly failing to deliver on biblical ethics.

failing to recognize the figurative features with the biblical text is like taking a love poem to the grocery store and wondering why you can’t find all the items on its shelves.

Christianity does not glorify violence. It humiliates it.
